Introduction

This chapter introduces the 700 Series Color Mobile Computer, developed by Intermec to enhance wireless connectivity needs. This chapter contains hardware and software configuration information to assist you in making the most out of your 700 Color Computer.

Note: Desktop icons and applet icons are shown to the left.

1700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

IntroductionChapter —1

AB10 Battery

The 700 Color Computer comes with a 14.4 Watt-hour, 7.2V, replaceable Lithium-Ion (LiIon) battery.

The 730 Computer comes with an 8.8 Watt-hour, 3.7V, replaceable LiIon battery.

To view the status of the battery, tap Start > Settings >theSystem tab > the Power icon > the Power tab to view the current status of both the main AB10 battery and the backup battery. Tap ok to exit this information.

If your computer shuts down because of low battery conditions, your computer does not operate. This is done to ensure that data is protected. Although the battery does protect the data against loss for several hours, you should connect your computer to a power source when you first detect a low battery condition.

Note: The 700 Color Computer has an internal backup super capacitor which retains data for an average of ten minutes after the battery is removed. It also shuts down the 700 Color Computer if the main battery suddenly goes away (removed from the computer). Depending upon the processes running, it may not have adequate power for a graceful shut down. If so, the 700 Color performs a cold-boot the next time power is applied.

Note: The 730 I-Safe Computer performs a cold-boot every time its main battery is removed if it was not put in suspend mode prior to the removal.

In short, put the 700 Color Computer into a suspend (sleep) mode before you remove the main battery.

2 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Introduction—Chapter 1

If you have at least one device in your 700 Color Computer (radio, scanner, imager, or Ethernet), the battery power fail level is set so that after the system shuts down in a low battery condition, there is still sufficient charge to allow the unit to remain configured, keep proper time, and maintain DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) for at least 23 to 32 hours at room temperature if the main battery remains in the mobile computer. The configuration and time are lost if:

S The battery discharges beyond this level.

S The battery is removed when the computer is not in suspend mode.

S A cold-boot (reset) is performed on the computer.

You can modify RAM maintenance in a limited way. On the 700 Color Computer, tap Start > Settings >theSystem tab>thePower icon > the Battery tab. Drag the top slider bar to the right to change the suspend voltage to favor suspend time over rundown time, then click ok to exit.

Ambient Light Sensor

Note: This information does not apply to the 730 Computer.

The ambient light sensor turns on the display lighting when conditions warrant but automatically turns if off again as surrounding light increases. This conserves your 700 Color battery power.

External Headset Jack

The external headset jack connects a mobile phone style headset to your mobile computer for use in noisy environments. The jack is a 2.5 mm, three-conductor jack, with autosensing of the headset jack insertion which disables the internal speaker and microphone. The external headset jack is located on the bottom of the mobile computer next to the Hirose docking connector.

This is the bottom of the 700 Color Computer. Note that the keypadis to the bottom in t his illustration.
